Scientists in England created hundreds of embryos formed from the combination of human and animal cells. Admitted for medical study, this practice has been run for three years with stealth.
Quoted from page Daily Mail, Saturday, July 23, 2011, has more than 150 embryos created in various university laboratories in the UK. Human animal embryos anomaly combined with the embryo is called 'hybrid'.
There are two ways of British scientists produce these embryos. First use 'cybrids', ie injecting human eggs into sperm cells of animals. Second, how 'chimeras', ie combining human cells with animal embryos.
According to the Daily Mail has been around 155 embryos produced by two ways.These embryos containing the genetic combination between man and beast. Scientists say the research is useful to develop embryonic stem cells that can cope with various diseases.
Known, there are three universities to develop this research, namely the University of Newcastle, Warwick and King's College. Their research is not illegal, because it has been governed by an Act of the British Fertility of Human Embryos in 2008.
Currently, research in all universities to stop temporarily due to lack of funds. However, scientists believe they can continue it again in the future.
Not without a hitch, this study challenged many people, including members of British parliament. "I am against the creation of human-animal combination before the parliament for matters of principle. No scientist can prove their justification," says independent MP, Lord Alton.
"Of the 80 treatments and cures from stem cells, all derived from adult stem cells, not embryos," said Alton again.
British pro-life activist, Josephine Quintavalle, also oppose this research. He said he was surprised that he study the unfolding of these disgusting. "Why do they keep it quiet? If they boast of what they do, why parliament fuss?" said Josephine. (Sj)
